Life of the Party

You're a poet for an aristocrat

She won't know your name

But I'll throw a couple pennies in your hat

You're a troubadour for the girl next door

She'll pay for your rhymes with her smile and her times

You're her troubador

Spin me another song on the record player in my room

I don't know how to use

Play it fast so we can laugh

Or slow it down and just let it loose

Getting nostalgic with the tune and

Sentimental with the blues

You're in recluse

You like a quiet life

Won't tell me how you feel

You think you have a heart of steel

You watch your tongue

Something you learned when you were young

Ain't got a dirty mouth, but if you did

I wouldn't mind

Spin me another song on the record player in my room

I don't know how to use

Play it fast so we can laugh

Or slow it down and just like the blues

I could be the life of the party, here to daylight and amuse

I could be the life of the party or be sitting at home with you

I could be the life of the party

And everybody knows my name

But that doesn't matter to you

Spin me another song on the record player in my room

I don't know how to use

Play it fast so we can laugh

Or slow it down and we'll let it loose

Getting nostalgic with the tune and

Sentimental with the blues
